Overview

The SAGA Mercedes-Benz Story: The journey began in 1971 in western France, initially focused solely on commercial vehicles.

Today, SAGA has an international presence (in France, Belgium, England, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the Czech Republic) and represents 70% of the RCM group’s revenue.

Today, the group remains a French family business with a global outlook, distributing iconic brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Lexus, Porsche, Beneteau, Azimut, Galeon, and Highfield internationally (in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, England, and the Czech Republic).
